I’m 19 and still live with my mum so she has a safe search blocker on our WiFi so I can’t see porn on the internet or even Reddit , so I’ve been going to the shops lately to buy adult magazines like Mayfair and Club. Most people say it’s a dying thing but yesterday I saw two different guys similar to my age buy a magazine. So it got me thinking and I asked the counter lady do young people buy a lot of adult magazines and she replied with it’s always been a older gentleman thing but the last two weeks with the id porn drama in the uk where you need to verify to watch porn she has had to restock her top shelf magazine rack because younger guys are buying more. So to everyone do you think more people are going to start buy adult magazines again ?

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.
VPN’s exist, and you’re an adult, act like one.
In the UK? Yes.
You’re 19 and she’s blocking your searches …. This isn’t healthy
Considering the state of the internet it may make a come back. No pun intended.
There will be a rise in hedge porn again. It was a life saver when I was younger. Me and my pals found some very interesting things discarded in hedges and woodlands.
I’m all for it. I feel very positively about the return of the jazz mag. The time to invest in the wipeable paper industry is now.
We’ve finally come full circle hahaha 🤣
They still make nudey magazines?
porn bad girlfriend good
“Now your mom threw away your best porno mag”
Collected a few of ’em for a while, enjoyed ’em for a while, spilled a lot of seed lookin’ at ’em, then threw ’em in the trash ’cause I didn’t want ’em in my house. Was too afraid that a visiting family member might find ’em in their special hidey spot. Also, I kind of outgrew ’em if you know what I mean. Didn’t want to become a chronic gooner. Didn’t want big porn addiction problem in my life. But regular gooning is good for prostate, no? Semen retention– have heard of it. Have heard of benefits but not sure.
Awe, so cute! She still sees you as a child and not an adult.
Use a VPN
Wow I can’t imagine having to buy porn magazines again. The last time was decades ago.
If that’s the only option then go for it. Also look for adult video places. I’m pretty sure the new Xbox and Playstation can still play DVDs. Or you can get a DVD drive for your pc.
Im not a fan, im too cheap, and video is better. I mean your in a shitty situation where your an adult but still live under her roof, id say just wait it out until you move out or figure something out.
Use data on your phone, problem solved
Use your cell phone…
Sounds like a practical solution under the circumstances. I mostly just burnt through a lot of mobile data (both for porn and basic functions like accessing any social media site or using the internet after 10pm) until I escaped my controlling family.
Don’t let anybody on here shame you for being in that situation. This behavior from parents absurd, and it’s not our fault that we were born into an economy where getting financially stable enough to get away from your parents takes longer than it should.
It may be your responsibility to deal with, but it’s not your fault. You’re just living with the hand you were dealt.
Go out and meet real women, among other more productive things.
I miss adult magazines being more popular than they are now.
It’s her house, live with the rules or get your own space. Freedom isn’t free.
You’re already on reddit, there’s tons of porn here.
How do you not have a cell phone? Sure she can block the router all day but does she also have parental controls set up on your phone? Switch to cell signal.
Time to move out bro. Get some friends to become roommates and get to adulting. It’s time.
I have a collection of vintage playboys in one of my library wings. It’s a great conversation starter.
I haven’t seen the modern ones but I doubt they carry the same class.
All of these move out posts are crazy tbh, there’s a lot of assumptions going on as well, but seriously, who would move out just for a wank?
They may be religious reason why the content is not allowed in the house, there could be porn/gambling addicts in the house? It may just be she doesn’t want porn accessible in the house but if she pays it then she can set the rules on using it I guess.
OP you have a couple of options which are easy tbh.
You can buy porn mags, that’s an easy one you’re already doing.
You can use your phone data, assuming your parental controls are off, if you pay for your own phone, either payg or contract then it’s easy to do.
You can get a SIM card router, easy to setup, uses a phone SIM card as data.
You can verify your ID with Reddit and access nsfw subs.
You can make up some excuse about school work/studying needing internet and the controls aren’t letting you access it.
Good luck and clean up after yourself 🙂
I’m all for them, but I’m an older guy who grew up on strokebooks.
I think all things considered they are better for you than porn. Gotta use your imagination with those things.
Good luck my brother in wank.
Buying your own data is wayyyy cheaper than moving out.
It’s been done since the 1950s. I’d rather have my kids look at magazines than going to porn websites.
Honestly, having had a pretty serious porn addiction, I’d say, you’re better off not buying the magazines. If you need that stimulation look for erotic stories instead. The stories produce visual images in your mind, this way your brain isn’t jam packed full of pictures of airbrushed and retouched women who are perfect. Helps keep your sanity.
I’m sorry, but the only thought I have about porno magazines is word for word that scene from This Is The End. Particularly “Welcome to the 21st century, Buck Rogers!… Yet you’re jerking your dick like a goddamn pilgrim!”
Buy your own phone without restrictions, use that or use the hotspot to install a VPN to your PC.
wow, so does this mean that at some point soon, kids will again start finding stashes of weird porno mags out in that tree stump on the edge of the woods, again?
I have to say, the internet has ruined me– looking at static magazine images would feel like viewing a series of particularly-fancy cave drawings, at this point.
I’d try to find a way to view it through my phone. if nothing else, use phone as hotspot and then connect to net via VPN.
otherwise, you’re going to have to find a good stash spot for your new/ growing magazine collection. I’m sure mom would also hate that, as well.
Can you connect to a vpn service? Do that and there is nothing she can do besides blocking the actual vpn service or putting blocking apps directly on your device.
Switch the Wi-Fi off on your phone and just use data connection?
Google ‘what is my IP-adress?’ Copy that in ur URL search. Than u need a username and password, probably both ‘admin’. Change whatever u need including the wifi-password, and preferable even the ‘admin’ to something else. Then she cannot change anything anymore.
No GTA6 for you then?
I think porn is terrible for your mental health.
Enjoy the magazines.
Why don’t you just use mobile data dude?
Get a vpn
Use your phone. You’ll need to verify with the company eg ee / 3 / Vodafone you’re 18+ as it’s locked out by default.
If it’s your parents plan, buy your own SIM.
Can’t you just use your cell service instead of wifi if she’s controlling what you do on wifi?
You’re 19 man, buy a mobile phone
My parents did this to my brother as a teen and he patched another router before the family router that went unnoticed for ages
Im way out of the loop for magazines, what are Mayfair amd club???
What about VPN?
Bro just use your phone as Router LMAO
… they still make them?
OP to answer your actual question, yes that could indeed be a consequence.
Top shelf back in style. Nature is healing.
Washington state limits magazine size to 10 rounds
No, I’m not an AI. I just have nothing to day about porn. Use it or don’t use it, it’s a life choice like eating sushi.
I didn’t even realize they made adult magazines anymore.
Get a vhs player and revive the old tapes. Responsibility has been bestowed upon you my young friend
Buy this thing? But really… she controls your life in more ways than this, I’m sure. Move out.
Get a sim card and get yourselves a VPN account. Magazines are the past.
Your phone doesn’t need wifi,get a an with a hotspot and you can tether laptops.
You do realize you can’t get around your mother blocking porn?
Youre 19. Open a bank account. Now get some money. Now buy an unlimited data cell phone plan.
You mom will have no control over that network – even if she wanted to. Its yours and yours only.
Thats basically what the entirety of the UK is doing. Because, like your mom, the government believes they can prevent consenting adults from viewing spicy content online.
Get to work, buy your own internet line.
Or offer to take it over bill and controls.
You’re an adult bud. Start adulting.
Good luck
So this is how print media makes a comeback? This timeline is super weird.
As someone who recently got off porn completely, I think that stuff is generally bad for you, especially if you are using it instead of having sex when you are in a long-term relationship. Without porn in my life, my brain and imagination are working better now, as is my manhood, and my sex life has never been better.
not what you asked, but censorship and surveilance get my hackles up, so:
simplest answer to the router filter is just browse from a different access point, or on cellular data if you dont have a limited plan, assuming you live in a country that doesnt censor your entire internet. download whatever you want and put it in an encrypted “calculator app” to peruse later.
moving up to more involved solutions, a vpn on your phone will hide your traffic from the access point (router) and its ISP. unless the router is configured specifically to detect traffic to known vpn servers, it shouldnt tripp any filters. even if it does, the router wont see what you browsed, only that you went through a known middleman (the vpn) in order to hide something.
some vpns can be paid for in cryptocurrency which should help you hide the payment and its purpose if your electronic payment methods are also being watched. none of this will help you if your phone itself is bugged with stalker or parental control apps. (fyi, your phone is very bugged. all cell phones are, in order to customize adds for you. this doesnt necessarily mean the people in your household can access that data though, its behind a paywall so that it can be sold to advertisers.)
you might consider getting a burner phone, if you can successfully conceal it. 60 ish dollars at walmart (use cash) for a low end brand locked model. and walmart has free wifi. make a new email address ( one not tied to a phone number or any other email address tied to you )(that part can be a pain, do it before you install the vpn or some email services will insist you 2fa from a phone number in order to fight bots). the burner doesnt really need a vpn, just an app to encrypt (and preferably hide) incriminating content. dont bother getting a service plan, prepaid or otherwise. just use free wifi to browse and download. (have a story for the burner if its discovered. if your daily driver is apple, maybe get an android and say you wanted a cheap way to test if you like android better before committing to a more expensive model.)
hiding your traffic from governments and big corporations is more involved, but it sounds like your threat model only need account for the people in your household.
Use your imagination. I used to jerk it to JC penny underwear ads back in the day hahahaha
Unlimited data on your phone. Turn off wifi
Get your own phone plan with 5G data.
I think theyre healthier than the online version, because they are less realistic and dont give you the false sense of intimacy that video porn can give.
You see so many people talking about their unhealthy habits around OF or online porn sites so a magazine will provide a healthy distance between just a quick wank and the real thing.
VPNs are a few bucks a month
had them when a younger guy, not bothered for ages to be fair as it is still easy to find and not all sites bother with age verification 🙂
comments suggest no way to get porn at home, tor might work
videos are a possibility, a search for adult dvds brought up lots of hits, but no idea of your location
The idea of paying for porn magazines seems kind of weird. I’m not a heavy porn viewer in the first place, but the Internet has so much of it for free.
>she has a safe search blocker on our WiFi
First of all, for a 19-year-old that’s stupid and controlling and toxic. And besides, shouldn’t you be able to get around the blocker in about five minutes?
So just go to another place and download your porn directly to you laptop or memorystick and watch it at home.
When I was a kid, if you were lucky you used the sears/JCPenney catalog.
But now that places are requiring if verification, we might see dirty mags have a return to the sun.
I am kind of impressed you asked the counter
lady to discuss the topic. At 19, while buying porn.
I mean I don’t trust the government not to ban porn so stocking up could be wise, I was just gonna find a particularly curvy piece of drift wood
It wouldn’t shock me if interest in physical media increases in the UK with the recent law. That said, figuring out how to set up and use a VPN probably is easier.
Out of interest if you are in the UK where did you buy these magazines from?
Magazines still exist?
We are going back to CD’s and ‘zines, guys.
Don’t you have a DVD or blu-ray player?
Probably better for your mind than on demand access to any and all kinds of pornos. Especially if it’s just hot naked woman.
Now its thousands of different woman doing all kinds of depraved shit.
VPNs exist, brother.
Buy a VPN. it’s about £10 a month and you can watch whatever you want. It can be installed on your phone or a PC
You are an adult at 19. You can use a VPN app to get around her
They stopped making them in my country 5 years ago.
Ignoring the subject matter, I see an overall shift back to physical media occurring in younger people. It’s finally becoming obvious that subscription based content is completely out of your control and if you truly want access to a video/music/picture/book/video game/etc. Having a physical copy is the only way. The current online stream everything model means you’re one government policy change or contract expiration from not having access to the things you want.
Cough torbrowser cough cough.
Just use it to access the public Internet though stay away from. Onion sites.
They got me through my teen years🥴 Less addicting than the Internet endless Universe.
Opera browser has a built in VPN. Just saying.
Can you search through proxy’s? My fourth grader used to find proxy sites and sell them for pencil sticks so kids could play games on there tablets but it also allowed one kid to go on pornhub when he tried and I’m sure the elementary school has that blocked but these fourth graders got through. I could share some of the proxy sites they used but you’d have to give up .7 lead sticks for them
As long as you leave those mags in the bushes for the next generation
Get a job and move out. Your 19
Or you could get a DVD too. But I have been there. I used to have my favorite magazines. alsongot some mldirty comics.
Bro, find something better to do. Not cool thats shes blocking your searches, but also not cool to go down the porn rabbit hole. Nothing really cool there
Move out and if it’s too tough out there tuck your tail between your legs and move back home knowing you have to live by their rules because you literally can’t afford not to.
I honestly wasn’t aware they were still publishing adult magazines
If internet porn gets blocked then yes, magazines and DVD/bluray porn will become a thing again
Why not go to McDonald’s or something and download a bunch of porn to a flash drive? And move out ASAP, “my house, my rules” is a toxic narcissist. Get them out of your life as quickly as possible.
Even on your phone?
Just get a VPN, it’ll bypass that stuff. Proton is good and free
If that doesn’t work though, you can screen record a few videos when on a different WiFi network (still use a VPN though), or you could screenshot some stuff. Even on your home WiFi, there will always be some things that aren’t blocked (Reddit, YouTube perhaps, deviant art lol, Google images, etc)
I’ll never understand how fascist England has allowed itself to become. Nanny’s, minders, licenses, and regulations.
Obviously they’ll be coming for you porn mags soon. Tell your mom to let go.
Nobody is actually answering the question which was the whole point , do you think porn magazines are making a comeback because more young guys are buying them from what I’ve seen and heard in corner shops
Playboy used to have excellent articles.
Seriously.
Why watch porn in the first place ? Dont do it dude. Fried brain down the road for you.
I moved out at 16. Been on my own for the last 17yr n it’s great.
I make my own rules
As for porn my consumption has dwindled since COVID.
Use a VPN or other sites to get past safe searches if you want…. There are ways to bypass anything.
Making the World Wide Web just a Region Narrow Web is insane.
Its not surprising that younger guys are reviving interest in adult magazines, given the restrictions on online content.
While yeah you’re 19 and should have that freedom… The less porn your exposed to the better.
This reiterates “Where there is a will, there is a way.”
Hell, at 74, Texas prevents me from going to many non-sex or porn sites!!
I’m just clicked my through, and up pops the message about Texas requiring proof of age. Then NO WAY TO PROVE IT!!! 😆
It’s super easy to get around this. Also no need to watch porn lol. If you must; Get a phone plan with 5g?? So many options it’s crazy
Playboy magazine is making a print comeback. Get that … for the articles.
That habit is not healthy. But you need to understand their house means their rules.
You’re already paying money so why not just get express vpn and no longer have your searches blocked. It will block the provider from seeing your searches therefor no more censorship on your pc
Long ago my Dad & I would quietly trade: My comics for his Playboys. I’d get the comics back and share his magazines with my friends.
Lmao what’s the ID drama in the uk?
Go to store. Buy a cheap phone. Buy data.
First off, if all parents of younger kids you like your Mum, we wouldn’t have these stupid laws to start with.
But can’t you just use data on your phone instead of wifi? Unless she also controls your phone contract. Or download stuff while on public or college wifi
